Favela Grill Steakhouse - Queens (NY)

5 /5 Joana Leite: Absolutely loved Favela! The food was authentic, fresh, and so delicious. Our server Hans was the highlight of the night — funny, warm, and truly amazing. The live music on a Friday night was also perfect, great songs and a good vibe for dinner time. We were too full for the banana flambé, but Hans convinced us it’s a must for next time… and we will definitely be back to try it! Highly recommend.

5 /5 A A (Juji): We went here for my brothers birthday. We celebrated with a few family members, and we had a toddler with us. We had a great experience. There was live music, which added a great touch. Other patrons of the restaurant were also celebrating birthdays, which was a lot of fun. The food was delicious. The drinks were great. It was a wonderful time, you should visit soon.

4 /5 Johana Lopez: The restaurant offers a pleasant setting to enjoy a quality steak and a good drink with loved ones. The food was enjoyable, the atmosphere charming, and the service generally satisfactory—until an issue arose regarding the gratuity. According to the menu, a tip is automatically included for parties of four. However, we were a group of three individuals, and the tip was still automatically added to our bill. When I politely mentioned that tipping should be optional, the waiter responded with a noticeable change in attitude. I had intended to leave a cash tip, but his demeanor prompted me to leave a smaller amount instead. Later, while I was in the restroom, I was informed that the waiter expressed to my friend that he was dissatisfied with the tip amount and believed he deserved more. He also questioned what explanation he would provide to his manager. It is important to emphasize that tipping should remain a voluntary gesture.

4 /5 Steven Howard: Found this little spot while heading back to the city. I was curious to see what it had to offer since it touted itself as a Brazilian spot. I was pleasantly surprised by its elegant, and accommodating atmosphere.the server was amazing, the food was well prepared and tasty. My first drink was a bit off balanced. However they made up for it with the secret d round. All in all I loved this spot.

5 /5 Jennifer Rodriguez: Tried for the first time after finding it on IG. The place does not disappoint, food came out within reasonable time. Location is very local and the atmosphere was chill for a good dinner. Outdoor seating is available. Waiter had great recommendations! Will come back on Friday or Saturday as they offer live music! Come and try!
